It's a close call between A and B for me, in the end I went for B. I like the way it looks rooted to the ground, mainly because of the flat
floor pan and then the abrupt change as it slopes upwards, as opposed to the smoother underneath of A, if you see what I mean.
Are you thinking of making one of these?

I like A & B but A is the clear winner. There's something lumpy about the front of B (ie bonnet too high) and the set of angles lines
around the door/scuttle/sill intersection area are a bit confused.
C is pretty much the same pseudo-Jaguar shape as every Marcos, Ginetta, etc, etc, etc of the last 30+ years.
I'll have 2 of Type A please - one in black and one in bright yellow

Well Steve, you've made it a pretty hard decision because I like aspects of all of them. 
I was initially leaning towards 'B', (I can almost see that one as a middy...) but I think I like the lines of 'A' just
slightly better. 'C' has some classic proportions, but it may be too similar to the Phoenix and some other cars of that genre.
Don't you have another concept that is similar to 'A' but in blue? Is that concept off-limits?
All 3 of them are great renderings and I really admire your ability to strike a line with such grace and proportion. Sweet.

I was thinking the same thing. Drop the bonnet
line (hood for our American friends) and shift the cockpit forward a bit. Already has a nice engine hump under the roll bar.

Agreed.
Nice work.

It's 'B' for me too, it's got something manly and purposeful about it, Although I have to agree with viper that
'C' is also a gorgeous design... how about the bastard child of B & C ? - no thinking about it that would probably be hideous!!
Good work

'C' for me please, but with less overhang over the front wheels if possible. I like smooth curves of the Aston/Jaguar?? styling.
Not that any of the are unattractive really.

I voted A.
C is nice, buts its too 'been there done that before' like a jag or similar. A is more original,

B for me just has a stronger stance and more engine room!

C!! I agree it does look a bit Jaguar... a bit like the F-Type / XK180 concept, but they never made that. Great looking designs though, all of them!

It has to be C. Yes classic and been done before but nevertheless gorgeous.
Perhaps some side vents or something to give it a touch more aggression would be nice.

They're all gorgeous.
It would be interesting to offer B and C to pick up both ends of the spectrum: elegance vs. aggressiveness. I think B is the most innovative. It has
something of a 30s GP car about it, but it's quite modern. If the engine compartment isn't going to be filled with a blower or something,
though, I'd avoid it.
If I had to pick just one, I'd go with A. Very classic lines, but not 'just like' anything.

B's easier to build the plug for on first impressions, A has the edge, in case of a hung vote do I get the casting decision seeing as how I will
prob end up doing 99.9% of the plug manufacture while u supervise as per normal when u starting the drawings for A

C. no doubt in my mind!
It has a lot more style than a...Giny and probably the only one of the 3 who would look breaththaking in real!!!!
Who was the creator of these study's?

Voted A but not sure about the front light shape. Love C but agree about the similarity to jags etc.

Wow! Didn't think it'd be that close. I'll let the poll run until mid-October - should hopefully have everyone's opinions by
then and we may take it further. Depends what mood Shug's in!
Mr. Graber - there is a blue one and it's a different design (how did you know?!) - but that's not for public consumption just yet...
Good to see that they're all generally well received, and thanks for the kind comments.
Best Regards,
Steve.

I am unable to reveal my sources at this time... I seem to have forgotten where I heard that.... I don't recollect that event...
